Put them in Christmas Cards
Challenge someone else to complete this printable! Your children will probably love the idea of sending this secret message to their friends.
The act of writing and addressing Christmas Cards is a great educational (and bonding) experience in itself!
Save it for Christmas morning

Leave this sheet with their note from Santa Claus
Does Santa typically leave a note for the kids to find o Christmas morning? If not, it is never too late to start a new tradition.
If so, leaving fun (and secretly educational) worksheets like this secret message sheet with the note can add a level of fun that lasts longer than the initial two seconds of letter reading!
Make your own secret message!
Draw the icons or print a bunch out so that you can create your very own secret message. This can be especially useful if you prefer a more religious Christmas message!
Your children will surely have fun making their own Christmas time message, too!
Why are decoding worksheets essential?
Have you ever tried sounding out words? This secret message activity is a fun way for kids to practice sound-letter correspondence and building words with familiar sounds!
It’s not enough that we show them flashcards, their learning will only go so far! Often they will memorize a word as opposed to learning to sound them out. This means, they can only read words they are familiar with.
Everyone needs the ability to decode text in order to grow into successful readers! This means teaching children both sighted decoding skills (alongside reading levels), but also including fun practice worksheets like this one.
What is a fun way to encourage kids to learn with printables?
Printables can be an engaging way to encourage children to learn. They allow students to practice their skills, work on specific concepts or topics, and develop their knowledge beyond the classroom environment.
Printables can be varied in their scope, ranging from information-based sheets that feature facts, reports, and puzzles, or activity-based sheets that feature mazes and coloring activities.
Additionally, they can provide a fun challenge if they are set within a time limit or have specific milestones that need to be achieved within each task the child is presented with.
Teachers may also add particular incentives for completing printables, such as stickers or helping support at-home learning.
Are decoding printables for kids hard to do?
Decoding printables for kids can be both fun and challenging, depending on their educational level. In addition to helping children learn how to read and write, these activities serve as an entertaining way for them to practice sound awareness and word recognition.
For younger children, simple decoding activities may be all that is required, such as unscrambling letters of a short word or discovering the missing letters in a longer one.
Older students may find it more difficult to juggle tasks such as connecting letters to create two or more words from a clue.
Ultimately, regardless of the complexity of the activity, discriminating between sounds and writing/reading words will help strengthen their literacy skills and give them a sense of accomplishment.
What age group are these decoding worksheets geared towards?
These decoding worksheets are suitable for students of all ages. With adjustable difficulty levels, the worksheets can bring enjoyment to children who are in their early school years and challenge older elementary students to learn more complex secrets of language.
They help to cultivate a greater understanding of language concepts and aid in improving reading skills while encouraging word search game fun.
Regardless of the student’s age, these decoding activities offer an exciting way to enhance their literacy skills.
How can I make printable worksheets fun for the kids?
Incorporating interactive and creative elements into printable worksheets can make them more enjoyable for students. Strategies such as adding coloring or drawing activities, or incorporating puzzles and games, can keep children engaged while providing educational opportunities.
Additionally, it is important to choose fun topics that children can relate to so they remain interested. Connecting the worksheets to familiar concepts and interests can help increase engagement further.
Teachers could also provide incentives or rewards, such as virtual stickers or stars that they collect to motivate the children while they complete the assigned worksheets. All of these strategies can help ensure that printable worksheets remain both fun and educational for young learners.
